Try this:
XKBOPTIONS=compose:ralt # change ralt to preferred key
in /etc/default/keyboard
then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
then, in /etc/console-setup/remap.inc
### compose key
## current state: `dumpkeys --compose-only'
compose 'o' 'a' to U+00E5 # å
compose 'o' 'A' to U+00C5 # Å
compose '0' 'a' to U+00E5 # å
compose '0' 'A' to U+00C5 # Å
compose '"' 'a' to U+00E4 # ä
compose '"' 'A' to U+00C4 # Ä
compose '/' 'o' to U+00F3 # ó
compose '/' 'O' to U+00D3 # Ó
compose '"' 'o' to U+00F6 # ö
compose '"' 'O' to U+00D6 # Ö
compose '/' 'e' to U+00E9 # é
compose '/' 'E' to U+00C9 # É
compose '/' 'a' to U+00E1 # á
compose '/' 'A' to U+00C1 # Á
compose '/' 'u' to U+00FA # ú
compose '/' 'U' to U+00DA # Ú
compose '/' 'i' to U+00ED # í
compose '/' 'I' to U+00CD # Í
compose '\' 'a' to U+00E0 # à
compose '\' 'A' to U+00C0 # À
then
loadkeys -c -s /etc/console-setup/remap.inc # same file
The compose key works for me in X as well, though I
don't remember how I set that up, if indeed I did.

This is a prime example when you should use an
abbrev. Call it msw, for example. You probably already
know how to setup an abbrev, but I mention it
nonetheless. Your example (MS Word) first, then some
other creative uses of abbrev.
(let*((write '(("msw" "Microsoft® Word®")
("Marquez" "Márquez")
("Diaz" "Díaz")
("Alvarez" "Álvarez")
("Rios" "Ríos")
("Lopez" "López")
("emacsver" "" (lambda ()
(interactive)
(emacs-version :here) ))
("thedate" "" date)
("teln" "0702541522")
("homep" "http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573")))
(groups '(("rsb" "rec.sport.boxing")
("geh" "gnu.emacs.help")
("geg" "gnu.emacs.gnus")))
(both (append write groups)))
(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table both) )

I agree, that's why I was so surprised to (not) hear
word processor and Groff and LaTeX from the same
person. I never heard "text processor". But, "text
processor" = editor, then?

I always agree to degree in general, only in this case
I'm fairly sure my solution is better, and that this
could be measured and confirmed if a bunch of
scientists did an examination (which I don't suggest
they do, as they should do other thing).
Summary:
For the odd case use: the compose key
For recurrent use in words: abbrev (compare Microsoft®
Word® - and realize that I didn't type that, just m s w
without spaces).
